Pac was likely penalized by the judges (consciously or unconsciously) against Bradley because he was coming off a controversial decision against Marquez in their third bout. Similarly, I think Bradley will be penalized by them because of the controversy in the first fight and Pac will be given the benefit of the doubt in the close rounds. Although, I think Pac beats him without controversy.
I don't think so. I've said this since MPvsJMM3, that a boxer needs to go and get the (T)KO, or else accept whatever the judges decide. I felt that JMM should've got the decision there, but you can't complain about it. It's life. I think MP is going to be a lot more active than he was in his first fight with Bradley - which is what I think cost him that fight. I expect one of the fighters to win convincingly. Either Bradley will win by out boxing Manny, or Manny will swarm Bradley and get a few knock downs along the way. I doubt this fight will end early, but at least one (I think 2) of the horrible judges from the first fight are no longer working in boxing.
Probably not... Bradley is more likely to be the victim of the 'Lewis v Holyfield' effect.
Either way it's just the judges point of view. After the 3rd Marquez fight people were saying Pacquiao was never going to lose a close decision because he is a cash cow and then his very next fight loses a fight which people didn't think was close. Judges must have a hard time seeing clean punches from that angle.
Depends on if Vegas is hurting for money or not. I doubt it, because more people will take Bradley this time. The first fight was fixed because everybody took Pacquiao.
It's possible. Look at the first fight. It doesn't matter who you're a fan of. Anyone can see that Bradley lost the first fight. I guess the judges saw, or were told, something different.
I'm afraid I may be joining Rich in the street armed to the teeth.
If Pac fails to KO Timmy this time around he will be FOCKED again. And its hard to KO a running and clinching opponent with a monster bald head swinging like a wrecking ball.
Riot in the streets if the People's Champ gets robbed again! Who's with me?
I wouldn't be surprised if Top Rank try to sabotage Manny Pacquiao before his contract ends at the end of 2014 in order to minimize the intrigue of a potential Mayweather/Pacquiao fight for May 2nd of 2015.
Bob Arum and Top Rank won't be getting any of that revenue because Floyd won't do any business with Bob Arum due to their bitter past when Floyd was with Top Rank.
He wasn't robbed the first time, TB done enough to get at least a draw and when the fight is that close then one cannot moan if it goes either way.
Probably not, cuz they gave TBrad a chance at stardom, and now he's on his own.
Vegas - most corrupted and incompetent judges
